The fabrication of free standing silver, polypyrrole (PPy) and hybrid PPy-Ag nanowire arrays was reported. Silver, P Py and PPy-Ag nanowires were produced by electrochemical deposition/polymerization of metal/polymer in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The home-made AAO templates were fabricated by two-step anodization of aluminum performed in oxalic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid at the anodizing potentials of 25 V, 45 V and 195 V, respectively. Silver nanowires with a diameter of $\sim$40, 80 and 300 nm were synthesized by DC electrode position from a commercially available plating bath. PPy nanowires, $\sim$80 nm in diameter, were synthesized by electropolymerization of a monomer in a solution containing pyrrole (Py) and by applying a constant potential. The hybrid PPy-Ag nanowires, $\sim$80 nm in diameter, were synthesized by a simple simultaneous cathodic elect ropolymerization of pyrrole and metal deposition in a solution containing , , pyrrole (Py) and by applying a constant potential. After the electrochemical deposition, free standing Ag, PPy and PPy-Ag nanowire arrays were obtained by a subseq uent chemical etching of the AAO template in an aqueous NaOH solution. The morphology and structural characterization of fabricated nanowires were performed by FE-SEM and EDAX analyses.
